            Bug ID: 397077
           Summary: Upgrading the keyboard-configuration package overrides
                    KDE X keyboard layout
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.12.6
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde.org at prolinux.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Configure a difference in your X keyboard layout using the Keyboard Hardware
and Layout system module's Advanced tab. E.g. enable Position of Compose key ->
Menu. Confirm that this works by hitting Menu, then e, then ' to get an e acute
é.

Upgrade the keyboard-configuration package on your system. If you already have
the latest, re-install it. Re-test the Menu key. It will no longer work until
you unset and reset that binding in the system module dialog (or possibly if
you log out and log back in).

It seems upgrading keyboard-configuration applies the system-wide configuration
in /etc/default/keyboard over any local settings you have. Obviously that
shouldn't do so.
